Laredo border patrolman Chuck (Delger) marries Mexican prostitute Engracia (Abril) and smuggles her into the U.S. where she gets turned in by Chuck's jealous boss (and Engracia's former client) Mitch (Wilson). Chuck follows his bride back to Mexico to work for his 'coyote' uncle Bryant (Carradine) and gets into more trouble, so his family seeks revenge. Unfortunately, Delger is an uncharismatic acting black hole; fortunately, the other leads are not.
